And another scan done

No, no results yet from the amniocentesis...
But we've just had yet another scan. Baby is still 4 weeks behind, which means that the gap hasn't got bigger since the last scan 2 weeks ago. For me that's good news, although it's still of concern.

All the scans thus far show that the blood flow through the umbilical cord isn't good, as blood is pumped from the placenta to the baby, but some of it flows back to the placenta. Or the other way round, cant remember!
This means that baby is not getting everything he needs. We've done a bit of research into this condition of the cord and severe growth restriction and found that we may stand a chance with the baby if we can stretch it past 31 weeks, with baby weighing 1 kg or more. At the moment he's about 260gr, which corresponds with wk19/20.

But that's just us doing some research, we'll see what the obstetrician has to say on Thursday.

Shit the phone rings.... Just a moment now.
